Draco’s POV:

I wake up in the middle of the night when Snape shines a light at me.

“Wake up, Malfoy. Dumbledore wants you awake.”

“It’s midnight-”

“I know what time it is, wake up, get dressed, come on.”

I groan and stand up. Snape walks out of my room as I get dressed. Once I was done, I opened the door and walked to the common room only to see Dumbledore.

“Petrificus Totalus.”

Just like that, I couldn’t move. It was like I was frozen. Andy was standing in the corner of the Slytherin common room, he came up once Snape motioned him to, and he picked me up.

I felt weird. Why was I being moved? On top of all that, why was it Andy who was doing it? I haven’t seen him in weeks and he looked like he was going through a lot, mentally and physically.

I didn’t remember much after that, it felt like I was knocked out. It felt like forever when I felt my body being dragged around. I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn’t. I wanted to talk by I couldn’t. I wanted to hear what was going on but I just couldn’t. I was freaking out, I wanted to scream but I couldn’t. Nothing was working. My body was shut off.

Then, after what felt like a push. I felt like I could breathe again but once I opened my eyes, I realized I was soaked and in the black lake with a little girl next to me. It was Fleur’s sister. I helped her to the people at the dock and looked around. I couldn’t tell why I was in the water but Hermione pulled me up after Fleur got her sister. Hermione handed me a few towels and made sure I was okay.

“Harry!” I turn when I hear Dumbledore shout and see Harry getting covered by Dumbledore and Barty with towels.

“Harry!” I shout as I run up to him. He was screaming in pain and that’s when I noticed the marks all over his body. They looked like burn marks.

“I want all the judges over here now.” Dumbledore shouted.

I grabbed Harry more towels and held him in my lap to keep him dry. Fleur came up to me us and sighed happily. “You saved her, even though she wasn't yours to save. My little sister!” Fleur kissed Harry on the face which made me laugh a little. “Thank you! And you…” She looked at me. “You helped!” Fleur kissed me too. I just froze and looked at Harry, confused.

Hermione comes up to Harry with a towel. “Harry!”

“Hermione.”

“Are you alright? You must be freezing! Personally I think you behaved admirably.” Hermione kisses Harry on the head.

“Hey now, enough of that. He’s mine.” I laughed softly. Both her and Harry laughed as Harry leaned on me.

“I finished last, Hermione.” Harry spoke annoyed as he pushed himself off of me and sat up on his own.

“Next to last. Fleur never made it past ze grindylows.” She laughed which made Harry chuckle. I could tell he was upset though.

“Attention! Attention! The winner is… Mr Diggory!” Dumbledore shouted. Cedric and his friends cheer. “For showing unique command of the bubble-head charm. The way I see it, Mr Potter would have finished first had it not been for his determination to rescue not only Mr Weasly but the others as well. We've agreed to award him second place! For outstanding moral fibre.”

After a while, we left to go back to school. I stayed with Harry, keeping myself glued to his side like a clingy puppy. Harry would kiss my head every now and then but never more than that. I liked that I was finally getting on his good side again. I loved it. I loved that I was able to be near him without him getting upset.

As we walked, Barty came up to us. “Congratulations Potter, fine achievement. Well done boy. I'm sorry we haven't spoken, after all your story is one I've heard many times. Quite remarkable. Tragic of course, to lose one's family. Never whole again are we? Still, life goes on. And here we stand. I'm sure your parents would be very proud today Potter.”

Mad-Eye approaches us next and smirks. “Bartimus! Not trying to lure Potter into one of the ministry's summer internships are we? Last boy who went into the department of ministries never came out!” Barty walked up to him and then froze. He then looked back at us and walked away in a hurry. “And they say I'm mad.”

Mad-Eye walked away from us after that. We continued to walk back to school before I walked him to his Common Room door.

“You have fun tonight with Hagrid, Ron, and Hermione, Alright?”

Harry smiled and nods. “Yeah… I wish you could come.”

“No, this is something you should celebrate with friends.”

“But you’re my friend too… you’re more than that, and you know it.”

I smiled and put my hands on the sides of his face, cupping his cheeks and smiling at him. “So what does that mean for us then?”

“We will talk about this tomorrow… I’m not too sure yet, as of right now.” Harry pulled his face away from my hands so I dropped my arms to my sides and sigh. He smiled at me and kissed me quickly, pulling away just as fast as he leaned in.

“Good night, Malfoy. See you in the morning?”

“Of course, Potter. I’ll see you in the morning, bright and early.”

The next morning, I met with Harry in the Great Hall. We ate breakfast together. I finally was able to sit with him without Ron saying anything. Blaise even joined us for the first half of breakfast but left after a little while.

It was like old times, sitting with our friend group but the fact that there was still one more challenge at the end of the day was eating at us. So, the day went on like normal; or at least as normal as we could get it until the challenge started. We all made it out to the Arena. I was sat with Blaise, holding onto his hand, terrified to know what was going to happen next. A few hours before this, Harry and I were in his dorm room, making out on the bed.

He told me he would rather focus on the challenges for right now but after, he wouldn’t mind us being more so of course I was going to worry about him.

“Calm down, they haven’t even arrived yet.” Blaise laughed softly and patted my back, letting go of my hands.

I sighed as the music played on and the crowd grew larger. After a while, everyone cheered and the champions emerged into view.

“Earlier today Professor Moody placed the tri-wizards cup deep within the maze. Only he knows its exact position. Now as Mr Diggory…” Dumbledore spoke. The crowd cheered on hearing Cedric’s name.

“I swear, Harry had a thing for him earlier this school year.” I mutter to Blaise, half jealous and half sarcastic. “And I don’t know, something about Moody makes my skin crawl.”

“You’re just looking into it too much.” Blaise muttered back but then cheered as Dumbledore spoke on. “...and Mr Potter tied for first position they will be the first to enter the maze. Followed by Mr Krum…” The bulgarian crowd go nuts. “...The first person to touch the cup will be the winner. I've instructed the staff to patrol the perimeter, if at any point should a contestant wish to withdraw from the task he or she need only send up red sparks with their wands. Contestants, gather round.”

I watched as Dumbledore spoke to the contestants. I wanted to know what was going on. My skin was itching to know.

“Champions! Prepare yourselves.” Moody spoke. Cedric hugs his father.

“On the count of three... ONE…” Dumbledore starts but the cannon goes off. Mr Filch shrugs comically. Dumbledore groans. Harry and Cedric enter the maze through different entrances. The entrance closes up behind Harry and just like that, he was gone.

“God, I’m already worried.”

“Don’t be, there is nothing-”

A red spark flew into the sky, cutting Blaise off. I panicked. “What if it’s Harry!?”

“Look, I spoke too soon but it’s Harry, You know he will get past this silly little maze. He will win the cup and you two can live happily ever after.”

I groan and watch as they drag Fleur out of the maze. I held my hands in my lap, hoping that he was okay. Hoping that Harry, my Harry Potter, was okay.

It felt like forever as the time went by. Krum was the next person they dragged out. It was now Cedric and Harry. It was up to them. After a while, they finally appeared, together. Harry was on top of Cedric and was a mess. He was covered in dirty and what looked to be blood.

I shot up from my seat and ran down the steps, trying to see what was going on. Everyone was cheering, seemingly nothing was wrong as Cedric’s dad shouted that his son had won. I then hear Harry cry louder.

“Harry! Harry!” Dumbledore shouts as he goes closer to Harry. I climbed down and walked over to him. Fleur screamed as Dumbledore tried to prize Harry from Cedric's body. “Tell me what happened!”

“He's back, he's back! Voldemort's back. Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I couldn't leave him, not there.” Harry shouted. My eyes widen as I look at him.
                        
“It's alright Harry. It's alright, he's home, you both are.”

“Keep everybody in their seats. A boy has just been killed. The body must be moved Dumbledore, there are... too many people.” Fudge spoke.

“Let me through! That's my son! My boy!” Cedric’s dad shouted as he pushed through the crowd. He breaks down wailing.

Harry was soon pulled off by Moody. I grabbed Harry’s arm and pulled him into a hug. He hugged me tightly and cried. “He’s dead… It’s my fault! He was trying to save me!”

“I know, I know.” I whisper and rub his back. Moody pulled on Harry and dragged him away from me. I sighed and looked back at Blaise. He walked down to me and sighed.

“You were saying?” I muttered, annoyed.

“I jinxed it… I messed up big time.” Blaise groaned.
